As a plus-size athlete, it’s really important to me that my workout gear be functional, comfortable, and versatile. Unfortunately, there isn\u2019t much out there for ladies with curves, which means I am either wearing regular sizes that don\u2019t fit quite right\u2014and seem to have a mind of their own\u2014or I\u2019m wearing heavy, ill-fitting, plus-size options. When I was offered the opportunity to review some gear from Lola Getts<\/a><\/strong>, which\u00a0specializes in fashionable fitness gear for women sizes 14-24,\u00a0I jumped at the chance.<\/p>\n

I was sent a complimentary outfit in exchange for my honest opinion and post about it. In a nod back to my rowing days at Wichita State University (Go Shockers!), I went with the black and yellow \u2018Lola Tee ($68),\u2019 and a pair of black capri pants ($72).<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

When the package arrived, I was immediately impressed with the quality of the items. Both pieces were clearly made of high-quality activewear material, and featured flat-lock seams to prevent chafing. The capri pants were cropped at just the right length and had a great hidden pocket for my keys. The top featured mesh sleeves and trim, which I haven\u2019t found in many plus-size options. Though I wasn\u2019t initially crazy about the top\u2019s color-blocking and bright stitching, my opinion changed once I tried the outfit on. Those lines and blocks of color? They made me look FIT!<\/p>\n

As soon as I started my first workout in my new Lola Getts gear, I was completely in love. I felt comfortable. Typically when I am trying new workout gear I hold back a little, but I felt confident enough to really push myself. Over the next few weeks I did yoga<\/a><\/strong>, attended a Zumba<\/a><\/strong>-thon for charity, and even lifted weights wearing my Lola Getts gear. Every experience was the same\u2014I felt great, I looked great, and I wasn\u2019t held back by uncomfortable workout clothes.<\/p>\n

Lola Getts is a little more expensive than I am used to, but considering I was comfortable doing cardio, yoga, and weight training I think the gear is well-worth the cost. In fact, I’ve already ordered a second pair of pants to take me through the rest of my winter workouts<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n
